Wireless Serial Modem
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the MEA Wireless Serial Modem (WSM6300). MEA is a wireless communication system capable of supporting reliable, high data rate communications in noisy RF environments.
The WSM6300 is a wireless modem that has been designed specifically for use in wireless sensor systems. It provides a serial interface – 2-wire (RXD/TXD) RS-232 or RS-485 (half duplex) serial interface. The type of serial interface is factory configurable. The WSM6300 requires a 5 – 14.0 VDC power supply and is designed for indoor/outdoor use. The WSM6300 provides similar functionality as the MWR6300. An antenna and the power/serial interface connector are included.
The WSM6300 efficiently combines the functionality of a MEA infrastructure device and sensor interface into a single cost-effective wireless network component. This makes it easy to attach a remote sensor device to a Mesh Enabled Architecture (MEA) mobile broadband network. Sensors, controllers, signs, signals, etc. can all be Mesh-Enabled to send and receive data via the MEA network. Each WSM6300 can be individually configured to support a wide variety of remote sensor devices. A Mesh Sensor API is also available to facilitate direct connectivity between sensor hardware and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems.
This document provides detailed installation and configuration instructions for use when installing the WSM6300.
